Robert,
I have used the DB5004 adjustable standoff for both the antennas you
mention. It's basically two 2 inch by 10 foot heavy wall pipes and the
hardware to mount to a tower. Supposedly mounts on towers with two to eight
inch legs and can put the antenna out two to eight feet from the tower. One
pipe is at the bottom and the other is across the top.
The last one I used I split the difference and mounted the pipes in the
center of a 42 inch faced tower. Then put a DB224 out on one side and a DB
420 on the other side.
It's a very simple and effective mounting system. Shipping was a killer,
though. One could probably get the schedule 80 pipes locally and get the
brackets from Andrew or whoever sells their stuff now.
Al,
